New Off Grid Inverter Charger

[Westbranch]

Hmmm, the'' MidNite Off-Grid 48 Special ''...   almost tells it all, eh?  Just add Volts 

[Robin]

We have actually been looking at the MidNite Special. I like that name. The first two model numbers will be MN10K48-5 and MN6K48-3 That is a big clue to those of you trying to figure out what we are doing.
We are hoping to be shipping the EGo,MidNite Special or Marvin around the end of the year. Good luck to us. I doubt we will make it that quick, but that is our goal.
We plan on showing this at the Solar Power International show in Las Vegas in September. SPI is the largest show in North America and we do not want to miss our chance to be the hit of the show. We are scrambling to have something that sort of works by then. We do not have all the PCB's done yet. There are 18 different boards. This is a very big project. The largest one I have ever worked on for sure.

[Robin]

Actually "off-grid" is only part of what it will do.

Sounds like I need to change my September plans.

6K for the cabin would be awesome!  Duel 10K's for the retirement house; Perfect!

Got a good look at the unit.
Robin posted it up on the Webinar today .
Very Similar to the picture I glanced at the plant .
Saying that this new unit is a system , Im ASSUMING that it has a built in classic of somewhat !!!

Robin , I do hope you all .ca pull it off by the end of the year! I've got my hate set on the MNSpecial 48 as I will definitely need a inverter by the end of the year.

Dang, I would sure have liked it if there was a 24V version of the MN6K48-3      

I did notice in the naming /numbering convention that there is a 2000W sub-module being part of the design... 10K xxxx-5, 6K xxxx -3

Give a cigar to Westbranch!
VT got to see it. Yes, it is much more than an inverter. There can be a Classic of sorts although if one was employed, it may just be twice the power. The question is how many?
I am attaching a photo of some boards we just ran for the MidNite Special.

[Robin]

By the way, VT didn't say what he thought of what he saw?

Robin,

    I'm guessing the photo is a power board driver assy?  And given the cap size, probably for a pretty serious one!  However, since I'm an embedded firmware guy, my "guesses" are subject to flash updates as necessary

The boards are fet driver boards. We can have as many as 50 in one box.

Robin , I like your person & friendship , I asked if I may GPS your house & I would not ever post either way or pictures of what i saw @ midnight or on the web.

This is due to respect of what Robin & the Team are holding off.

I saw a stack 5 of the new "Midnite Spectral * "
The look will fit right into the classic form,& now that woman of the classic , DANG !!

Plus Robin I want to chat about your bird in the Garage .

No problem with the GPS. I am probably in the phone book anyway. If you GFP the house, you will notice a place next door that encompasses 1600 acres. Nobody lives there except the grounds keeper. It has a private 18 hole golf course that gets played about 5 times per year. People like Bill Gates come there for parties. I may have to learn to play golf by moonlight. They must not know who lives next door since they haven't invited Mary and I over for tea yet? You will also notice a small gauge railroad complete with bridges, tunnels round house and three miles of track and three different types of engines. They have 18 go carts with bleachers. These are NOT Sears and Roebuck golf carts! There is a stream that crosses our driveway. It flows onto the golf course. The stream dries up in the Summer time, although on the golf course they have turned it into a full blown lake stocked with fish and boats. The fellow who built this place owned part of Bayliner Boats. He sold it to a really rich guy named Craig McCaw. Now I know the difference between multi-millionaires and multi-billionaires. It is the size of their helicopter.

Yes, the MidNite Special is pretty sexy. Well, as far as an inverter can be sexy that is.

[CDN-VT]

K
multi-millionaires and multi-billionaires. or like me Multi-centenarians are no different .
The best thing is if you can have straight open eyes & and hand shake & enjoy the day as it was played out .
I scare some folks from being so  forward , I know who I am .

Ps I call ya next week
